ok guys, how will 17x8+47 front and 17x9+47 rear fit on stock CL9 height? also how would it look once lowered? any estimates on how much camber would be needed for it to look flush on ~2 finger gaps?

Mate that should fit no problems. In all honesty that offset is quite high which means it will look sunken in. Obviously not as bad as OEM wheels. No camber required. You will find 2 finger gap look too high. At least 1 finger gap.
-
yeah the offset seems OK, it was more or less the width i was worried about...

9 inch wide at the rear with +42 offset. the car is currently just tucking on 16s with natural camber. ill have to roll the guards, but will i need to run a camber kit?

OK tried them on yesterday morning on my cousins euro.
FYI at 17x9 +47, lowered to 1 finger gap with 215 tyres (heaps of stretch haha) and on about -1.5 degrees camber, the back was perfectly flush (maybe poking out a bit), fitment wise, it was amazing.
fronts were a little sunken in. on that note, at this height/camber and with no guard work at all, i doubt you'd be able to fit these specced wheels with 225 tyres or higher.
I didnt end up buying the rims since they were in crappy condition but i thought i might aswell post.
instead i got a set of rota wheels off ebay in 18x8.5 +48, so im guessing i'd need spacers once theyre on my car with coilovers/camber kit 
hope this info is useful for anyone reading and my best advice would be to actually go out and try a set of rims on in the specs that you want... if worst comes to worst, check rimtuck.com database or ask around!

hrmm you guys need to read the whole thread rather than asking questions, ppl asking about +40-+48 is like 8 mm difference. just look at most the pics and posts people put up and you will know if it fits or not. Only time u start worrying is the wheels have NISSAN offsets. ie. 17x9 +20ish. and also dont go too high as the higher the offsets the closer the inner of the wheels will be to your strut.

Yep. I'm pretty sure most of the fitments people will be wanting info on would have been covered in the 37 pages. As nam was saying on the high offset matter, as a reference I have x9.5+38 235/45 -3 camber, and I am fine.
-
yeah like i honestly dont have time to sift through 37 pages. if i could search it i would be easier, but ppl type it differently and the sample is all over the place
